Handknit Dolman Sweater

verysweetlife April 23, 2015

What, winter at the end of April?!

It's cold enough to wear the dolman sleeve sweater I knitted as a teenager. Rediscovered it on a recent visit with my folks. It's teal with blocks of maroon and sky blue mohair...kind of itchy. Also, it's boxy in that late 80's way. Heck though, due to less wear it looks pristine.

Slow Style

Slow Style is an ongoing project by Sarah Kate Beaumont who since 2008 has designed and crafted every piece of her wardrobe. She has not purchased clothing since the project began.

Combining art and craftsmanship Beaumont’s project embraces individual style and sustainability. It seeks to empower others to question assumptions of consumerism with its inherent cycle of acquisition and disposal, and as an alternative, to explore self-reliance in our shared ecosystem.
